2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER3.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on November 3, 2025 , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 30,919 miles . This marks the fifth consecutive annual pass without failings, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or recurring issues implies the vehicle has not experienced mechanical or structural problems requiring attention between tests. However, the 18-month gap since the last MOT —nearing the legal limit—means the vehicle has not been formally inspected for over half a year. While no defects were noted in the most recent test, this extended period without a check could mask developing wear, particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which degrade gradually without visible external signs. The recorded mileage of 30,919 miles over nine years—approximately 3,435 miles annually —indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age and class. The largest mileage jump occurred between October 2022 (17,636 miles) and November 2023 (24,057 miles) , a 6,421-mile increase in under a year , which may reflect a period of heavier use or a single owner’s extended driving. The remaining intervals show minimal mileage accumulation, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components, the irregular usage pattern —particularly the sudden spike—could imply inconsistent maintenance routines, such as delayed fluid changes or brake servicing during dormant periods. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and brake condition , areas where prolonged inactivity or sudden mileage surges can accelerate wear. Check for permanent deformation or cracking in coil springs , as these are prone to fatigue even with low mileage. Inspect rear suspension bushes for excessive play or glazing, which can develop without obvious external corrosion. The brakes, though never failed in tests, should be examined for uneven wear patterns or binding calipers , especially if the vehicle was stationary for extended periods. Additionally, verify subframe and sills for corrosion , as Range Rovers are susceptible to rust in these areas, even with low mileage. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are flawless—only that they passed visual and functional tests at the time of the last MOT. A thorough mechanical check is essential to confirm no latent issues have arisen during the current 18-month gap.
